Transferring photos I have had the camera for three months with no problem. I have been trying now to download some short movies and they come up blank in quick time. I had no problem doing this with with my first camera. Now I can't transfer regular still photos from the camera to my mac. I don't think I have changed any settings, either on the camera or the mac and am quite frustrated. The operating manual has been no help. Appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.

I think this has to do with the video format and/or version of Quicktime being used in the camera vs the PC.I have no clue on a mac but I experienced similar on certain Win-dohs OS's some time ago.I'm not sure it's a defect so much as a c ...

Camera Freeze Sometimes when I snap the shutter, the camera frezes, a very small red light quickly flashes (which is located to the right and bottom of the LCD on the back of the camera), and in the LCD there is the following display: D: 3C85 To clear the camera, I have to turn it off, then back on. Often it will do this several times in a row. The odd thing is, it does take a picture as the image is stored on the memory card. Help!

Lens Error! We have a Nikon Coolpix S6. When attempting to turn on, the camera buzzes. Afterward, the screen shows what the lens is pointing at, but then it goes white and the words, "Lens Error" appears. I can't find the manual to pinpoint the problem. Also, when the camera is turned off, the lens cover stays open, and only goes back when the bateries are taken out and put back in.

Lens trouble My lens will not come out entirely on my camera, for when I push the button to turn it on, the lens tries to completaly come out but then quickly retracts back halfway and remains stuck about halfway open. The screen is black and the light flashes red everytime I turn on the camera, along with a noise of something stuck. I have tried using that little button that someone told me was the reset button, along with plugging it in, and charging it. None of this has helped me with fixing

I have an Pentax Optio 60, and whether I put in brand new batteries, or recharged lithiums, it always shows either yellow or red "battery warning". Sometimes, when I put them in, it briefly shows "green" in the battery indicator, but then quickly changes to "red" or "yellow". I really like the camera, but this is a real pain. Can you help?

Hi I bought an Exilim EX-Z850 a couple of years and had been quite pleased with it even though I don't use it very much. I took it a few days ago and tried to use it, but it would not start.

I have a vivitar DVR 518. It came with a quick start guide, which is not helping me much with getting to know how to use my recorder. I've tryed to download the full camera manual but my computor won't let me open the file. Could you please send me the manual.

Lense stuck my kodak camera (the C663) is jammed in the outward position. its off and when i try to turn it back on it makes this wierd humming noise and turns back off. i tryed taking the batteries out charging them, nothing. i even tryed to turn it on then off quickly and tryed to help the lense back in.

Battery Problem I have trouble with apparent battery failure due to bad contacts on the slide-out tray thingie that holds the batterys. Jamming it in several times when I change batteries sometimes helps, but often the camera will stop working in the middle of a shoot and indicate the battery is discharged. A quick in-and-out a couple of times of the thingie restores full battery power, but by then I've probably missed my picture. Anyone else have this problem? Other than that (and piss-poor aut

I've never had that problem, all I can suggest would be to fiddle with the contacts in the grip, or put a folded bit of paper behind the battery before you put on the little door to push it in further. ...

This is a recently purchased camera that was working beautifully until recently. It just stopped taking pictures; when the shutter release is pressed, nothing happens. The only clue I have to what is happening came when I pressed the Quick View button and got a No Card message. I changed the CF card to one I took from my Canon Rebel XT and that I knew was working fine - again the message No Card when the QV button was pressed. Does that help at all in defining the problem? Any ideas what the pro
